MONDAY 3RD JULY *So far, so good. One win, one loss – I’ll take that. I might have lost the bigger of my two matches, but I held my own against CM Punk, and that’s enough for me. In truth, looking back there probably wasn’t a chance in hell of me beating CM Punk last Sunday, but the only way to succeed in this business is to believe. I believed I could win the Light Heavyweight Title going into that match, and even though I didn’t I know I tried. A few more matches, more experience and a little improvement, and I can go back and try once again to become a champion. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” – that phrase may be cliché, but it’s a good philosophy to go by nonetheless. Tonight though, I’m not wrestling CM Punk again, or even another cruiserweight. I’m up against Samoa Joe, and so my tactics have to change dramatically. A fast paced, exciting cruiserweight battle simply doesn’t work when you’re up against a 300 pound monster. For a big guy he’s pretty quick, but I still need to change my style tonight. A good offence won’t help me, because it’s not the way to beat a guy like Samoa Joe. But if I try defensive tactics, I could very easily become a victim of one of his many submission manoeuvres. The only strategy I can come up with is a compromise between attack and defence – let him come at me, but use my speed to my advantage and hit him with numerous counter attacks. It won’t be easy, but again the belief is there. I know I can beat Joe; I just have to be clever about it. At least I’ll have a few more fans on my side tonight... Joe isn’t the most popular wrestler in the EBWF, whereas I seem to be steadily gaining more fans. Maybe tonight, a victory or at least a good performance can earn me a few more. But first, I have an interview with the lovely Lilian Garcia. I leave my locker room and head to meet her. Just around the corner, there she is, looking as beautiful as ever. She’d probably never be interested in a guy like me, but never mind. Then the camera starts rolling and I have to start focusing on my match again.* Lilian Garcia: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, tonight I’m here with one of the EBWF’s newest superstars, Brian Kendrick. Now Brian, eight days ago in only your second EBWF match, you were competing against CM Punk with the Light Heavyweight Title on the line, at the King of the Ring PPV no less. How does it feel to be moving so quickly in the company? Brian Kendrick: To be honest, it’s both frightening and encouraging at the same time Lilian. When I was stood backstage last week waiting for my match, I was feeling more nervous than I can ever remember feeling before. I was afraid of failing – not of losing the match, but simply failing to perform and entertain. But once I got out there and the crowd started cheering, and the match began, all those nerves disappeared in an instant. I lost to CM Punk, but I sure as hell didn’t fail. I gave it my best shot and came up a little short, but I’ll learn from my mistakes and continue climbing the EBWF ladder. Lilian Garcia: Speaking of CM Punk, prior to your match at King of the Ring he made some less than complimentary comments about you, and clearly did not share the respect you had for him. Would you care to respond? Brian Kendrick: I think CM Punk taught me a lesson I needed to learn, as I am not going to be given mutual respect here – I have to earn it. Yes, I do think he was harsh, but as a new competitor here that’s to be expected. No doubt Samoa Joe will treat me in a similar manner, as will many others over the coming months. By his own admission, CM Punk is a jerk, but I do feel his remarks were unfair. He said I can’t hang with the big boys, but I’m here aren’t I? And I’m here to stay, because this is my new challenge. I won’t give up just because he beat me; I’m going to keep on trying until I make a name for myself here. But tonight I’m not wrestling CM Punk, I’m up against Samoa Joe, and so I won’t be thinking about CM Punk or his derogatory comments last week. Lilian Garcia: Your opponent tonight, Samoa Joe, is also a relative newcomer in the EBWF, but he is earning a reputation for himself and making an impact. A member of the Four Horsemen and the runner up of the King of the Ring tournament, he appears to be making a rapid rise in the company. What are your thoughts on fighting him tonight? Brian Kendrick: Again, I’m going into the match feeling a mixture of both nervousness and excitement. I know that Samoa Joe will be far from easy to defeat, but I relish the challenge of trying. I hope to follow in Joe’s footsteps and make a rapid rise similar to his ascent, and the only way to do that is to beat people like him. Joe has my respect for doing so well here – he truly does do what he says he does, and sheds his comic relief status when he enters the ring. I face a similar challenge, as I know that fans that have seen me wrestle in previous federations probably won’t respect and admire my ability. I too have been the fun loving character Samoa Joe portrays at times in the Horsemen, but unlike him I have yet to achieve anything great enough to disprove claims that I am nothing more than a comedy character. I know that when I head to the ring tonight, as I look around at the fans, regardless of how they feel about me or Samoa Joe the majority of them will be expecting him to squash me like a bug. But I take heart from the fact that my trainer, Shawn Michaels, was able to beat him last Sunday. I don’t intend to compare myself to the Heartbreak Kid, but his training has given me a wrestling style similar to his, so if he can beat Joe maybe I can do the same. I believe I can, and I know Shawn and those people who know me will believe that I can defeat the Samoan Submission Machine tonight. *At this point I decide to look into the camera, and address Samoa Joe personally.* You see that’s the thing Joe – you don’t know me. Neither do CM Punk and many others that don’t respect me. Now I wish I could adopt a similar attitude to yours, and not care about what other people think, but that’s not me. I do care about the way other people see me, and being loved and respected means everything to me. You can come out here Joe and you can say you’re going to eat me, or kill me, or whatever your catchphrase is this week, but rest assured I’ll do everything in my power to ensure that doesn’t happen. I’ll bring everything I’ve got tonight Joe, and I will do my best to overcome you. That wasn’t enough to beat CM Punk, but it was enough to beat Krazy K. I’m not unbeatable, but I’m not a pushover either. I’m ready to fight you, and I’m ready to beat you. *I step away from the camera, hoping that having shown my serious side now I will earn a little more respect from both the fans and my fellow EBWF Superstars. I smile and thank Lilian and then head back to my locker room. I’ve still got a long way to go before I achieve my dreams, and accomplish something in the EBWF... but I know I’m getting there.* |
